By Mike Richmond
The brave men and women of the armed forces who
made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country were
honored in a Memorial Day ceremony by the Jupiter
Senior Softball Association.
A crowd of about 45 players heard Army veteran Gary
Vitaletti explain the origin of the Memorial Day holiday.
When he asked if anyone wanted to remember a person
who lost their life in combat, several in the crowd called
out the names of a friend or loved one who died for our
nation.
The ceremony concluded with players removing their
caps and standing silently as they listened to the solemn
sounds of Taps. Players representing most branches of
the armed forces were present, including veterans of the
Korean and Vietnam wars.
The tribute was a wonderful start to a meaningful
Memorial Day to honor those who gave their all for our
country. After the ceremony it was “play ball” as players
took to the fields for pickup games.
The year-round slow-pitch softball program is open to Army veteran Gary Vitaletti addressed the Memorial Day ceremony.
persons 55 and older, and new players are always welcome.
Games are every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning
beginning at 8:30 a.m. at Jupiter Community Park.
